Top of the line sport SUV

The SQ5 comes standard with around 350 hp and with only some minor modifications can get up to 450 hp. Combine that with Audis consistently having the most comfortable yet driver centric cockpits and this is the most balanced and pleasurable vehicle I’ve owned in over 20 years. For record, I’m comparing this against previously purchased Audi S4s and a V8 BMW M3. The SQ5 is a sedate mom car when you want it to be and a competitor to the Porsche Camen when you put it into sport mode. Fully fun and functional.

best car for my family of 5 plenty of room

For the price The Audi SQ5 Sport utility vehicle better than Porsche Macan TURBO. Better comfort soft diamond leather seat handle sharp around corners and the cabin is very quiet.
